I have two Kitchenaid mixers. My old tilt- head model and a newer bowl raise model. For smaller mixing operations I just bought an immersion blender with a whisk and frother attachment by Mueller Austria that's pretty impressive for things like pancake/waffle batter, and smaller batches of stuff. It's scary fast how quickly it works.

Use a KitchenAid hand mixer and a stand mixer.  Had some cheap hand mixers over the years; purchasing KitchenAid hand mixer cured me of using lesser mixers; then purchased my stand mixer about 15 years ago. Recently upgraded to cordless KitchenAid hand mixer...very convenient.  Satisfied and no desire for any other brand.

Interesting question isn't Mix Master a brand name

I opened this to be sure I knew what a "mix master" was, lol.   (I also thought it was a brand name.)

I assumed this was the mixer with the large bowl.  Never had one.

I have a hand mixer and a food processor and have never been unable to do whatever I needed to do.  The large bowl mixers seem like they'd take up too much space on the counter, so I never wanted one of any brand.

For those of us "of a certain age", as the saying goes, it is.

In 1928, Sunbeam's head designer, Swedish immigrant Ivar Jepson, alongside Bernard Alton Graham, invented the Mixmaster mixer. Introduced in 1930, it was the first mechanical mixer with two detachable beaters whose blades interlocked.

Mixmaster is a brand of Sunbeam.

I have my mom's Sunbeam but wouldnt dare use it as it is from 1946 a wedding gift. Mom had 8 kids. She got a lot of use out of it. Power cord is ancient so im afraid to use it.  I also dont know how to part with it since she died 30 yrs ago. I dont have but a handful of her things and that is one of them.

I have a 5 qt Tilt back Kitchen Aid in Iced Raspberry.. it gorgeously sits on my counter getting used 3-6 times a year at most. Coukdnt resist it when i saw it on QVC 5 or so years ago and it was a great price and i could afford it then.

@LizzieInSRQ I have no idea, and I was shocked to see them up there. I knew she had one long ago and then it disappeared. Didn't know it went to the mixer commune above the cooktop.

I can guess one or two were hers,  maybe my mom gave her one when she up graded, and maybe her brother gave her his wife's when she died.  That's only a guess.  But in her later years she did everything by hand--or my uncle mixed it up by hand for her.  They didn't use appliances really.

You will be shocked when you realize how hard you worked to use that Sunbeam mixer.

A KitchenAide does all of the work!  I learned that in my early 30's.
